My friend has an olympic white MIJ strat with a maple neck. It's got 60's features if i'm not mistaken. Like with the 11hole pickguard, the two string trees, the exposed truss rod adjustment thingy, the three bolt neck and the big headstock. If i'm not mistaken its an ST-68 or a n ST-71. But the thing is, this guitar has a reversed headstock!! Very JIMI HENDRIX!! It's not a voodoo strat though since the bridge pickup is slanted the usual way. Do you think this is trully an MIJ Reissue or an MIJ body with a lefty 60's neck transplant..

i'll try to get pics of the headstock and the serial soon.

Which way does the headstock logo face? The logo on a lefty neck is upside-down compared to the logo on a righy neck.

Here's a real (old) lefty neck

No Jimi Hendrix-inspired Strat would have a Bullet Truss Rod adjuster ... as he was dead a year before Fender came out with them!
